Mountain Bike Lessons |
From the cautious beginner to the avid mountain biker, our programs can cater to your needs. Novice riders will learn the basic skills of downhill mountain biking at the base of the bike park; including neutral stance, braking, and cornering. Progress to the chairlift and develop these skills on the mountain. Intermediate riders will build confidence and speed on more technical terrain (smaller drops, rocks, logs, roots, etc.) and learn basic skills for features and jumps.
Panorama's Mountain Bike School offers three-hour group lessons for beginner, novice and intermediate riders. Looking for something more personalized? Private lessons are available upon request.
